Flat in Isolabona, Liguria, Italy

Monastery apartment with views of Isolabona

Fully furnished second floor apartment in 1420s monastery with imposing views over Isolabona. Ideal holiday home just inland from the coast (12 km / 20mins) between Dolceacqua (3 km) and Apricale (1 km). All mod cons including two bathrooms, dishwasher and washing machine. The property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, single bedroom (currently with bunkbeds), double bedroom, two sitting rooms both with double sofa beds and two bathrooms. There is a cellar for storage and a small garden and seating area outside with pizza oven. There are fantastic views from all sides of the property of wooded hills and mountains. Isolabona is a friendly and relatively quiet village but has good facilities including shops, bars and restaurants.

The property, originally built as a monastery in the 1420s, was sold by the church in the 1700s and converted into a grand villa. After the second world war it was converted into three flats and we are selling the middle floor. The structure is solid rock about 1m thick at our level with high ceilings and the flat remains remarkably cool in the summers.

Our kids have grown up so we are selling the family holiday home after many years of great holidays in Italy. A bit of a climb up from the village hence the low price.
